THIS month’s Spencers Wood repair cafe will take place on Sunday, June 4.

Residents can bring broken household items to be fixed by the group’s able team of volunteers at Spencers Wood Village Hall, Basingstoke Road.

Organiser Billie Bachra said: “We are looking forward to getting together again to see what we can do to fix any broken items you may have.

“Have you checked out your bikes, lawnmowers, strimmers and other tools? Have you put things aside thinking, ‘I won’t throw that away’ and see if it can be fixed?

“Looking forward to seeing you this Sunday – enjoy our cafe and bookstore while you wait.”

The monthly initiative provides both economical and environmental solutions to product waste.
